The White House urged Democratic lawmakers not to support a House GOP bill expected to pass today that could keep millions of people out of the exchange by allowing people to keep their old insurance through ACA’s “grandfather provisions.”

Democracy for America, a political action committee founded by Dean, said in a news release that since last week it has raised more than $25,000 for Democrat Jennifer Boysko, a candidate for the House of Delegates, in case there is a recount in her race against Del. Thomas Davis Rust, R-Fairfax.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., spearheaded the effort in the Senate. (The other participating organizations were the Alliance for Retired Americans, Campaign for Community Change, DailyKos, Democracy for America, The Other 98%, Progressives United, Social Security Works and USAction.)

Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, a liberal grassroots advocacy group, said the Democratic Party would benefit from a competitive presidential primary in 2016.

“The issue of income inequality is vital, and Hillary Clinton has not always had the right position,” he said. “Hillary has changed a lot, and she’s grown a lot. I think this is a candidate who has evolved in a number of important ways.

“She has some heavy lifting to do to show she’s not in the pocket of banks and a candidate of the 1 percent. That’s a more open question,” he added.
